skate journal: rockaway skatepark in new york (sept 13, 2025)

Wrote some notes 11 days ago after the session, but it was such a long trip I almost forget it entirely. So here’s my notes.

Less flow than it looked.  Quickly flooded with kids; most of which skated.  First thing I liked was noseslide to fakie triangle then fakie flip on bank.   Had some crooks on the low ledge, noseslide into the bank, kickflip fakie a mellow bank, took too long to fakie bigflop over a kicker.  Ended on a line of switch 180 the kicker, slow front 50 the low last ledge then a terrible bs flip on flat that somehow got a cheer from the one good skater there.
